Lets talk utility tags.

My end goal is to have information available about the utility feeding a meter in tags. Below is my first pass at what that would look like. What does the Haystack Hive-Mind think?

Utility Meters

Meters would be classified as a utility meter, which would have a set of tags associated with it. A utility meter would be defined as any meter that is used to measure energy/water provided by a utility. These tags would be on a meter as outlined in Section 14: Energy. This could be electric, gas, steam, water, etc. A utility meter would have the following tags:

Utility Meter Tags

utilityMeter

Kind: Marker

Used With: equip, *Meter ( elecMeter, waterMeter, etc.)

Marks a meter equip as a meter used to measure energy provided by a utility company.

utilityCompany

Kind: Str

Used With: utilityMeter

Name of company providing utility.

Example: utilityCompany: "The Energy Company"

utilityRate

Kind: Str

Used With: utilityMeter

Name/description of utility rate.

Example: utilityRate: "TEC-206-4-REAL"

My thought is that you really need to model the utility, and then associate the meter with that utility company as a first class entity.

An extremely simple strawman would be something like this:

id: @abc
dis: "ABC Electric"
utility
elec

elecMeter
utilityRef: @abc

But I think to do that properly is going to require a fairly serious effort, or if there is interest we could just standardize something very simple like the above. But that really branches into rate schedules, etc.
